Dance of the EarthAnna M HolmesLabel: The Book Guild LtdDescription: From backstage to centre stage and theatres of war Dance of the Earth is a sweeping family saga.Set against the backdrops of London’s gilded Alhambra music hall Diaghilev’s dazzling Ballets Russes and the upheavals of the First World War Rose and her children Nina and Walter pursue their ambitions loves and dreams. Dance and music become both sanctuary and self-expression shaping their identities and helping each of them find their place in the world.Spanning the years 1875 to 1921 — an era of profound artistic and social change — fact and fiction interweave in this tapestry of birth sacrifice and renewal. Art — both serious and comic — is at the story’s beating heart.
The Anna M Holmes Dance of the Earth (Paperback) would be an excellent fit for readers interested in dance-themed history books.
